VC Chrono, scratch monster?

Couldn’t but a Daytona, bought an Omega, didn’t scratch the itch.
Thinking of trading Omega Speedmaser Broad Arrow, and of course paying for a VC, Chrono.

I have not had any experience with this watch brand , as I Do Rolex, etc...
It has the bracelet, wondering if it is a scratch monster. Love the look, and think it will cure my ill’s, for a Daytona

You can have it on a strap and not worry with the scratches. I would also add that you might consider the WG Daytona if you’re going into the VC Chrono price territory.

Except that the gen2 VC chrono pictured can be bought used for between $11K and $13K, so not quite WG Daytona pricing...some might also argue you're getting a higher tier of watch with the VC, plus the depreciation already done...

OP: Any watch with directional brushing and/or contrasting polished and brushed areas will unfortunately highlight any scratches. Whether or not that bothers you is the question...
You didn't say which version of the VC you were considering, but the 2nd gen with the big date at 12 is quite lovely.

No more than any other SS, and the polished Daytona bezel is more vulnerable than the polished cross bezel.
